neon lights

Jumper: Matalan
Jeans: Oasis
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell c/o Sarenza (in the sale here)
On Tuesday best friend and I went on a post-work trip down to our nearest Matalan, I had in mind that I might buy a new dress for the office (they have some amazing ones on the website) but within seconds of walking in the store I was blinded by this neon pink jumper and after debating it (loudly) whilst pottering I was persuaded to make the purchase. At Β£14 it was hardly extravagant and despite my reservations over whether I could pull off the colour I’m smitten. I went up a size to get a more relaxed fit. I probably should have put a top under it, but what’s a little bra between friends? Like I said yesterday, I’m not usually one to jump on a trend bandwagon, but I am enjoying this one!

Off on more adventures with best friend today, I never tire of spending time with her. We’re only off to Sainsburys on a comic relief merchandise mission but it’ll still end up being a giggle. Other than that I plan a lazy Saturday- a bit of time on the air walker, a hair wash and I may go so far as toΒ  paint my nails seeing as I keep finding new polishes to buy.

What are you up to?

  1. My favourite colour!!! I love the neon pink colour and look of your jumper!! I sympathise with your initial dilemma – Matalan does carry lovely dresses but that jumper is a keeper. What a beauty. Enjoy your merchandise mission at Sainsburys. Best wishes for many giggles and a relaxing Saturday. I’m off to bed soon and will probably work on my tax return preparation tomorrow. Reading blog posts like yours is a cheery relief from it. Happy first weekend in March!

  2. Your boots are so unusual – they’re lovely πŸ™‚ and the jumper suits you! Matalan do some lovely things! Enjoy your comic relief mission!! I’m off on a mission a bit different today, trying to find my mother a present for mother’s day – she’s told me she wants cake tins but can I find any suitable? Not at all!! Then I may also participate in a bit of nail painting later on, seeing as the football will be on and I will be definitely be bored (also my nails are like half-painted now, it’s been that long since I painted them!) xxx

  16. Anon- I can’t reply to your comment directly so I hope you see this. It varies, fluctuates around the 18 mark though (I don’t profess to be at a healthy weight, just healthier…) x
